Ron Sherman

Chico Unified School District Board of Education Candidate

Like many other parents whose children attend Chico public schools, I have been concerned about the loss of important school programs and services in recent years. I intend to put my accounting degree and former CPA certification to good use by.examining the budget in detail, ensuring that all funds are being used as efficiently as possible. Programs like band, choir, athletic teams, West and ACT are vitally important in keeping children interested in school, and learning at full capacity. I am concerned by reports from teachers who lack basic supplies, and want to see that they have what they need.

I believe that cooperation between the teachers, parents, and administrators is vitally important in creating the best possible schools for our children. I will be talking to as many community members as possible regarding ways to improve our schools, and will be available to talk to anyone with concerns or suggestions.

I have lived in Chico since 1977. I received a degree in Industrial Engineering at CSU, Fresno in 1972 and in Accounting at CSU Chico in 1979, and worked five years in public accounting. I recently retired after 25 years as a letter carrier with the Postal Service.
